FORT MORGAN — — Primary sources and the medicines of the Plains will be the topics for the October Brown Bag Lunch at noon Tuesday in the Community Room at Fort Morgan Library & Museum.

Museum Educator Andrew Dunehoo and Library Technology Coordinator Lanny Page will present the joint program. People can bring a sack lunch and eat while listening to their free presentation.

The primary sources presentation will include a look at some artifacts from the Fort Morgan Museum collection, including the Junction House Letter.

Primary sources are those that came from an original source, such as handwritten letters or journal entries, official documents and deeds, photographs and other such materials.

And Dunehoo and Page will discuss the various types of medicines that were available and used on the Plains in the days of the Old West, likely including the supposed remedies being pushed by "snake oil salesmen."

The Brown Bag Lunch is held at noon on the second Tuesday of the month at Fort Morgan Library & Museum. The topic and presenter changes monthly.
